Identity

Who are you?

Who are you?
Hurry, quick, answer the question.
They are all waiting, with baited breath
Staring eyes and gaping mouths.
Why must it take you so long?
It is a simple question with a
Simple answer; yes or no.
Does fear or guilt or your own
Conscience hold you back?
Forget everything, they say, just let go.
A little push, a little nudge
In the right direction, in their direction.
You open your mouth and their voices
Come out sure and loud, uttering the word
You would not. The world will decide for
You if you let it. Will you let it?
You must decide, here and now,
Who are you? Them or you?
